Day One Hundred Three

Today, these things happened:

 I ate my chocolate Easter bunny.  (It was small.  Ish.)

 I did twenty-three minutes on the elliptical, and morning abs.  I did not have time for much weight-lifting, so I will do it tomorrow.

 I saw my primary care doctor, who said that losing ten to twelve pounds in a hundred days WAS good, WAS working, and to just keep limiting my carbs and eating healthy foods.  She thought this was good, not a disappointment.

Day Three

I had the day off, yes, but I was up in the night with a horrific headache.  I sat on the couch with a massage tool working on my upper back and neck for two hours until it went away.  When Mark got up for work, I helped him prepare food but then went back to bed.   I took the kids to school, then went back to bed.  Of course, this never works, because other people are up, and they feel compelled to text me. "I think I forgot my meds."  Et cetera.   I napped a little, then went to the gym.  I didn't have much time left to exercise, though, so I just did four rounds of elliptical and three of abs and weight-lifting.  I finished the weight-lifting routine I had started a few days ago.  All the songs randomly lined up on my iPod were under three minutes for the first three rounds, as if they knew there wasn't much time.  All in all, I burned about 258 calories. I spent the rest of the day finishing up my two sons' Eagle Sc...

Day One Hundred Seven

I fasted again today, of course. I did feel weak, but also fine. I am so mentally stressed that I'm not paying much attention to my physical body. Even the several mosquito bites I got at my cousin's last night aren't bothering me.  The first two songs that had been chosen for church were difficult to play and unfamiliar. I practiced them yesterday, but I really couldn't do them well, so I decided to just not even attempt to play the pedals with them, and that got me through them.  After church, I just chilled out at home. Mark was at work and my kids were with their dad, so I was alone. I just stayed in bed, reading and playing games, until four o'clock. At four, I got up to get something to eat, but I decided it was a little early for dinner and I could wait until five. At five, I heated some leftover potato soup and had a slice of wheat bread with it. I had one hollow chocolate egg from my Easter candy. I wanted another one, but didn't give in.  I had my ...

Day Ninety-Five

I went to bed early like a good girl last night, but I had nearly two nights' worth of sleep to get, and I was still listening to true crime episodes, so I did not get up early enough to go to the gym before going to work early to prepare for the presentation I had to give in staff meeting.  (I was mostly prepared, but, you know, to be there and make sure everything was printed, et cetera.)   So I did what I did last week one of the days when I did not have time to go to the gym--I ran in place for six minutes.  I did it for five minutes last week.  I just stood there in front of the clock and watched them tick by.  I might have actually done seven minutes today, because I was still distracted by the podcast I was still listening to, so I made sure it was at least six. Because we ate out last night, I couldn't eat today until eleven-thirty.  Someone had brought a lot of food for staff meeting treats, and I could not have any of it until after the m...
